Hello again.
Recently, my computer has decided that I am not allowed to use .dat files anymore. Any attempt to save, copy, delete or move a .dat file returns me the "Cannot save/copy/delete (file).dat. Access is denied" error.
Access should not in fact be denied, as the files are mine, under my ownership with full control in my documents. I have a feeling some asshole of a security program is blocking my use of .dat files (could be mistaken for system files).
So could anyone help with this?
EDIT: More info. It won't let me save any of the .dat files in the atomicIVAN directory, but in any other IVAN I can do whatever I please with them. This is very strange. I suspect maybe atomicIVAN got virused, or corrupted or something. Now I have 4 copies of it scattered about my computer which I cannot delete due to the "Access Denied" problem. Ignore this. This is no longer true.

do you use any program to edit the .dat files, because i personally use Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 express edition mostly because I had to get it for school but its free and it works well for the dat files and source code. I hope that helps but it might not.
